Hi, I have had touch pro and touch pro 2 devices - both with stylus attached-with both styluses worked fine.
You can find advertised cogitive stylus for Hero on ebay (they write that it works on iphone too), but I did not try any...
However today got one cheep stylus. It is like plastic pen with black rubber ending -similar to eraser on pen...
Works just if you push rather hardly with significant power and rather is not comparable to that from touch pro...
Did anybody met decent stylus working on Hero?

I purchased something probably the exact same thing from ebay, luckily i only lost 99p

Hi, I bought it for about 6 pounds with additional 1.5 for shipment. They shipped it already and wrote that shipment should take about 7-12 days. I will let you know about experience when receive.

So I got it and cannot tell that it is a miracle. You still have to press more than with windows based HTC phones and rather fat fingers are better...
...Or install Smartkeyboard ap.
Isn't that because those phones used resistive touch screens? whereas the Hero uses a capacitive touch screen?
Theres a Stylus for the HTC Hero to buy:

Has anyone tried the old cross stylus from the tabletpc days? I have one I used with my HP TC1100 and would love to use it instead of paying the extra $80. I also have two other stylus that came with different tablets that I'm going to take to best buy and try out. Please let me know if anyone has tried any other active digitizer stylus yet.
No luck with my Monoprice tablet pen
I'm not sure but I went on N-trig website, and as far as I understand they only sell their Pens to OEM manufacturers, not to the public
I bought mine at best, I think expansys has it for $59.99 if I'm not mistaken.
The N-Trig stylus for the HP Slate 500 and the new Fujitsu Q550 windows 7 tablet pcs will work on the Flyer. I have not been able to get the HTC stylus as my best buy does not have it and I don't think it is available online yet. So I am using those stylus and they work perfectly except only have the highlight button and not the erase button.

How's the palm rejection? Are there options to control the N-Trig digitizer like on the HP Slate or the Fujitsu? For example, if I set my Slate to "auto," it only accepts pen input until I double tap with my finger.
Palm Rejection flat out sucks. It does not seem to disable the capacitive buttons

Palm rejection as it is usually talked about is perfect for me--but the capacitive button can be a hassle. If you touch the screen with the pen first, I think it disables the capacitive buttons too. I can touch with pen and then write and drag my hand all over the capacitive buttons and have no effect. If I do not touch with pen first, then it can be a problem.
I tested again. Once pen touches and you are writing the capacitive buttons do not work. I even pressed them directly with my other hand and got no effect.

I have had the same experience. I will say it seems that you have to either touch the pen to the screen or put the pen really close before palm rejection even happens. I've become accustom to resting my hand on the bezel and then starting to right.

CompUSA has the Q550 Stylus Part number FPCPN36AP for $23.99 http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7108491&CatId=215
No luck using my old Windows Styli.
A.T. Cross stylus does not work
Lenovo X43(?) stylus does not work.
Fujitsu Lifebook 5010 stylus does not work either.
HTC magic stylus does not work on the above Fujitsu either.
bummer
The Flyer's stylus is an active digitizer. That's why it's battery-powered. The ones that come on tablet notebooks these days often use Wacom's digitizer, which doesn't require a battery (so the screen is supplying the signal that the pen interacts with).
The last tablet pc that I used that used a similar battery-powered digitizer was HP's TC1100. That's the only other stylus that has any chance of working. (edit: stupid me, see post below.)
N-trig battery operated pens will work. The pens for the HP Slate 500, and the Fujitsu Q550 and Motion CL900 should all work. Fujitsu pen is easiest to order and is much much cheaper than HTC pen. It does not have the erase button though.
Fujitsu pen on HP Slate 500
I see that Fujitsu's pen with the part number FPCPN36AP is mentioned. Does anybody know if it works with the HP Slate 500? I am considering using one of those instead of the stock pen because:
1. It is not battery-operated.
2. Battery-operated pens seem to have a high failure rate. The frustration that this causes is demonstrated well by Flying Bear Entertainment's game Insaniquarium.
My fpcpn36ap requires a battery.
That is odd because I contacted Fujitsu directly and was informed that that pen is made of plastic and is not battery-operated.
Has anyone tried the pen from a Wacom Cintiq display?

N-trig and wacom are going head to head on pen technology. It would surprise me if any wacom pens work with the Flyer... But it would be worth a shot.
Not Reverse Compatible
They are not reverse compatible. The tablet PC that I used prior to the HP slate 500, uses Wacom's technology and my father tested this.
Has anyone used this stylus for the flyer? Is it compatible with the Flyer's software? OR will I have to buy the HTC Scribe pen for full compatibility?
I have a flyer with the pen. I have tried other pens of the capacitive design and they all have worked to some extent. I have not received my Jot yet so I can't respond directly to how well it will work but I do know that there is not much chance it will work as well as the flyer pen and I know the Jot will not be able to take advantage of the special feartures built into the flyer for the flyer pen. However! there are several google play android apps that will provide most if not all the abilities of the built in apps on the flyer.
The jot will suck compared to the scribe. Its just a capacitive stylus (like using your finger) and nothing like the scribe.
If you want a scribe alternative, look at fugitsu and dells pens. Search this forum for info on what type of pen... they are around 20$ and work great.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet that didn't come with a stylus. Anybody know where the cheapest place to get one is?

Cheapest I've found is Amazon.com, here.
It seems to be at least $40 everywhere else.
If you want to go cheap, any n-trig pen should work for the tpt. I had a stylus from an HP slate which worked just as well on my thinkpad. Problem would be fitting in it's holder though. Check eBay I got an official pen there new for around $40 (USA)

This isnt actually a cheaper option, but hear me out. The stylus from the HTC flyer works great with the Thinkpad Tablet, AND fits in the hole in the back of the device. The buttons on the pen apparently are useless, great for me, since I moved from a flyer to this - the pen was free because I already had the Flyer stylus.
Other than the HTC stlyus being grey as opposed to red/black - I cannot see any difference between the two. Only problem is - the HTC stylus is about 20 dollars more expensive than the lenovo one. /Facepalm
Amazon as a large selection
I just got an evo view and needed a pen. There is no way I was going to spend more than $20 on a pen since the tablet only cost me $116.
I noticed in some thinkpad tablet forums that the Dell Latitude pen works on their unit... since their pen works on the flyer/view, I figured it would also work on ours.
So I bought this (there were a bunch on ebay): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190662750697&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
It has 2 buttons and works perfectly (as do both buttons). I didn't notice anyone mentioning this, everyone always just talks about the Fujitsu pen (which was more expensive and only had 1 button).
Anyways... hopes this helps someone.
